Want to Work on Your Typing Skills?

A great skill to work on for many of our students using assistive technology is typing. Whether the student is using a keyboard as an alternative pencil to support their fine motor difficulties or whether they are using word prediction to help them bypass a difficulty with spelling, we’ve noticed that strong typing skills always impact their success with the tool.
